Answer:

We conclude that the mean life span today is greater than 70 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 100 recorded deaths in the United States during the past year showed an average life span of 71.8 years. Assuming a population standard deviation of 8.9 years.

Let Null Hypothesis, \mu \leq 70 years {means that the mean life span today is less than or equal to 70 years}

Alternate Hypothesis, \mu > 70 years {means that the mean life span today is greater than 70 years}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z test statistics;

         T.S. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean = 71.8 years

             \sigma = population standard deviation = 8.9 years

             n = sample size = 100

So, <u>test statistics </u>= \frac{71.8 - 70}{\frac{8.9}{\sqrt{100} } }

                            = 2.022

<em>Now, since we are not given with significance level so we assume it to be 5%. At 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of 1.96. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis as it fall in the rejection region.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the mean life span today is greater than 70 years.

Answer:

This indicates that the chances of the mean life span today is greater than 70 years is 0.5871

Step-by-step explanation:

The past year showed an average life span of 71.8 years.

\mu = 71.8 years

Population standard deviation = 8.9 years

\sigma = 8.9 years

We are supposed to find the mean life span today is greater than 70 years

i.e. P(X>70)

Formula : Z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Z=\frac{70-71.8}{8.9}

Z=−0.202

P(X<70)=0.4129

P(X>70)=1-P(X<70)=1-0.4129=0.5871

Hence This indicates that the chances of the mean life span today is greater than 70 years is 0.5871

Need help on this!!!!
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

  • (a)  area = 3y^2 +14y +16
  • (b)  perimeter = 8y +20

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the point of Algebra is that you can work with things that stand for numbers (almost) as easily as working with numbers themselves. Here, you are given values that stand for the length and width of the rectangle.

(a) You know the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. The same is true when length and width are algebraic expressions that stand for those numbers.

  <u>Given:</u> length = 3y+8, width = y+2

  <u>Find:</u> area = length × width

  <u>Solution:</u>

     area = (3y+8) × (y+2)

Using the distributive property, we can perform this multiplication in essentially the same way we would for the numbers 38 and 12.

     area = 3y(y +2) +8(y +2)           equivalent to 30(12) +8(12)

     = 3y^2 +6y +8y +16                  equivalent to 30·10 +30·2 +8·10 +8·2

     area = 3y^2 +14y +16              equivalent to 3·10^2 +14·10 +16

(Of course, with numbers, there are relationships between units and tens and hundreds that let us further combine terms. When variables are involved, we can combine terms with the same power of the variable, but we cannot combine "y" terms with "y^2" terms the way we can with numbers.)

___

(b) The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides of the rectangle. Since two of those sides are "length" and two are "width", we can write ...

  perimeter = 2(length + width)

Making the substitution for length and width as defined above, we have

  perimeter = 2((3y+8) + (y+2))

  = 2(3y+y + 8+2) = 2(4y +10)

  perimeter = 8y +20

Which is the correct way to represent 0.0035 kg by using scientific notation? –3.5 103 kg –3.5 10–3 kg 3.5 10–3 kg 3.5 103 kg?
Vlada [557]
It would be

3.5 × 10⁻³ kg.

The decimal point must be moved 3 places to the right in order to have it behind the first non-zero digit; this gives us the exponent of 3, and since we are moving the decimal to the right, it is a negative exponent.

Last month you went on three hikes. one hike was2 3/4 miles long one was 1 1/2 miles long and was 3 3/4 miles long. in decimal h
creativ13 [48]
2 3/4 = 2.75

1 1/2 = 1.5 

3 3.4 = 3.75

2.75 + 1.5 + 3.75 = 8

You hiked 8 miles last month in total.
